Physical & Chemical Properties

Highlights & Benefits (for the Buyer)

• Adds a silky, warm woody-amber character without emphasis on heaviness.

• Helps smooth transitions between top/heart/base notes; gives a “velvet touch” to blends.

• Compatible with floral, oriental, woody accords.

• Stable and robust in fine fragrance systems (excellent performance & stability).

• Vegan-suitable (though not biodegradable).

Usage Guidelines & Tips

Dilution / Blending

• Because of its potency and cost, use traces to ~2% in most formulations. (In many cases 0.2–0.5% is enough to notice effect.)

• Always pre-dissolve in a compatible solvent (e.g. DPG, IPM) before adding to your main base, especially for heavier substances.

• Test cloudiness / precipitation at low temp – if it crystallizes, reduce water or use more solubiliser (e.g. IPM).

Compatibility & Pairings

• Blends especially well with Timbersilk, Citronellol, Iso Eugenol, Delta Damascone and other floral/woody materials.

• Useful in spicy-floral, oriental, woody accords as anchor or accent.

Tutorial: How to Use Sarochem™ Cashmeran in EDPs, Attars, EDT

Below is a simplified step-by-step approach (for small / test batches) that you can share with customers or use in your lab.

---

1. Decide your Target: EDP, EDT, Attar, etc.

---

2. Prepare Your Solvent / Carrier Base

Since you’ve specified limitations (no DPM, no TEC, no benzyl benzoate), your likely base consists of DPG + Ethanol + IPM or other carriers you can use.

• Example base (for EDP):
  • DPG – 70 %
  • Ethanol – 15 %
  • IPM – 15 %

(This gives you a balanced base for adding fragrance oils.)

---

3. Incorporate Cashmeran

1. Pre-dissolve Sarochem™ Cashmeran in a small amount (say 5–10 %) of your base or in IPM to ensure full solubility.

2. Add the dissolved solution into your fragrance concentrate (oils) and mix thoroughly.

3. Add that final fragrance mixture into your bulk carrier base. Mix well, let rest (macerate) for some days if possible.

• Example for EDP: If your target is 15 % fragrance load:
  • 85 g base + 15 g fragrance (which already contains small % of Cashmeran).

Cashmeran usage might be ~0.2–1.0 g in that 15 g fragrance portion (i.e. 0.02–0.1 % of total).

---

4. Maturation / Maceration & Filtration

• Let the blend rest (mature) for 7–14 days (or longer, depending on volume) in closed, dark containers. This helps the accords settle and any instability resolve.

• After maceration, filter (e.g. 0.45 µm or suitable membrane) before final bottling to remove particles.

---

5. Quality Checks & Final Steps

• Clarity test: store some sample bottles at cool temp (5–10 °C) and see if crystallization or cloud forms.

• Stability: heat, light, freeze tests to see if color or odor changes.

• Scent throw & longevity: test on blotters, skin, or vials over time (1 h, 8 h, 24 h).

• Adjust if needed: if throw too weak, increase volatile fraction (ethanol) or fragrance load; if fading too soon, increase more fixative-type materials.

Please Note: A minimum purchase quantity requirement must be met to qualify for a batch-specific manufacturer’s COA. The COA supplied will correspond to the exact batch shipped with your order.
